In 2007 the Sherman County SWCD created the Watershed Education Reserve Fund. The purpose of this fund is to provide education and outreach in natural resources and conservation for activities associated with the Soil & Water Conservation District.

The fund was established to provide the opportunity to establish and expand a program with local schools and the community. To date, two programs have been created using these funds; the Watershed Education Incentive Program and the Sherman County SWCD Scholarship.
